  text: 'An analysis of an optical Nyquist pulse synthesizer using Mach-Zehnder modulators
    is presented. The analysis allows to predict the upper limit of the effective
    number of bits of this type of photonic digital-to-analog converter. The analytical
    solution has been verified by means of electro-optic simulations. With this analysis
    the limiting factor for certain scenarios: relative intensity noise, distortions
    by driving the Mach-Zehnder modulator, or the signal generator phase noise can
    quickly be identified.'
